In the story Kaddo's Wall there is a rich man named Kaddo who lives in the town of Tendella in the kingdom of Seno. He has very big fields that give too much surplus corn for him to eat. One day he calls a town meeting of all the townspeople to get suggestions about what to do with all his surplus corn. All the townspeople have good ideas like give it to poverty or charity. But Kaddo did not like these ideas. Then he told the townspeople he wanted them to send him 1 hundred girls to grind corn for him. The next day they all came and ground corn. The next day Kaddo told them to make the ground grain into bricks and then make the bricks into a wall. Soon everyone found out about it and came to his door to tell them why they were mad about the wall. "Corn is not to be used to taunt those less fortunate!" the people said. "When people are hungry it is an affront to shut them out with a wall of flour. Kaddo said it is hard for the poor people to understand the wants of rich people. So the girls went on with building a wall of surplus corn. When they were done with the wall Kaddo walked all the way around the wall checking it out. He was very proud of his wall. Now when people came to see him he would always sit on the wall right next to the gate and talk. This is how things went for a while and Kaddo enjoyed it. Then one year there was a bad harvest and kaddo did not grow anything. The next year was the same. So Kaddo had to sell livestock for food and seed. Then the years after that were the same. Little by little that part of town became deserted. All he had was his young daughter and a mangy donkey. When all his money was gone he became very hungry. So he ate a little off the wall. Kaddo ate a little off the wall day after day until it was gone.Kaddo knew if he was going to live he would have to get help. But he did not know who would help him after he had treated everyone so badly. The only person who would help him he knew was Sogole, the king of Ganna who was very rich and generous. So him and his daughter set out on the donkey. When Kaddo arrived at Sogole's royal house Sogole was sitting out front. He ordered for them to be waited upon. But kaddo could not eat because he had not eaten in so long.
